In her practice, Freia approaches design as a cultural medium - a way of shaping domestic and public spaces. Material gestures are intertwined with ecological thinking and aesthetic sensitivity to create projects that invite imagination and cultivate emotional relationships between people and their environment. This approach translates into outcomes across a variety of scales, ranging from bespoke objects to public installations and industrial commissions.
Freia Achenbach holds a diploma in Industrial Design from the State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart (2019). She is co-founder of anima ona, a collaborative practice engaged in multidisciplinary projects that seek to illuminate socio-ecological transformation processes. Since 2022, she has been teaching Product Design at the Karlsruhe University of Art and Design.
